In the early morning in the town, before the sun has fully risen, the mist by the creek gently shrouds this peaceful world. In this tranquility, there is a young man leaning against the willow tree on the riverbank, his eyes are misty, as if he is immersed in his own world. He is Li Xiaozhi, a child who is considered by those around him to be "sleeping and not working hard".
Ash always gives the impression of being lazy, his grades are mediocre and he has no interest in anything. Both parents and teachers tried various methods in the hope that he would cheer up, but nothing seemed to work. However, today, Ash encounters an adventure by the river that changes his fate.
"Ash, why are you here alone in a daze?" A gentle voice broke Ash's musings. When he looked up, it turned out to be the neighbor's grandfather, an old man full of wisdom.
"Grandpa, I'...... I don't know what to do. There was a hint of confusion in Ash's voice.
The old man smiled, sat down beside Ash, and began to tell him seven words that would awaken his inner motivation.
"First sentence: Your potential is much greater than you think. Did you know that every child is a unique seed that just needs to find the right soil and sunlight for them to thrive? ”
When Ash heard this, his heart moved slightly, as if there was a glimmer of light.
"Second sentence: Hard work is the only way to success. No one can succeed casually, only with enough effort can they reap the sweet fruit. ”
The old man's words were like a key, slowly opening the lock in Ash's heart.
In the next five sentences, the old man used vivid stories and real cases to make Ash deeply understand the importance of hard work. He recounted how scientists have worked tirelessly to discover new scientific principles, and how athletes have achieved excellent results through their training day in and day out. These stories make Ash understand that only with enough effort can he achieve his dreams.
When the old man finished his last sentence, Ash's eyes were already full of determination. He stood up, bowed deeply, and expressed his gratitude to the old man.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I know what to do. Ash's voice was full of confidence.
From that day on, Ash began to become diligent. He is no longer obsessed with games and television, and spends more time studying and hobbies. His grades gradually improved, and his personality became more cheerful and confident.
Time flies by like water, and in the blink of an eye, Ash has become an excellent student and an active member of the community. He proved the power of hard work with his actions, and also inspired more people around him to pursue their dreams.
And by the small river in the town in the early morning, the clear water still flows quietly, witnessing the miracle of a teenager from sleep to awakening.
